Fun With Marketing

I was at this great party last night. There were a bunch of photographers and fashion types. I fit in nicely. Someone teased me however: I introduced myself as a Cinematographer. Later I mentioned my paintings. Then the host mentioned that I throw about four parties a year and we would be working together to help him with his marketing. The other guest gasped “you do marketing too? What don’t you do”.

Well – that’s it. I think. I do love marketing. I’m a marketing geek. I can’t stay away. I just find it so fascinating. And if you are a marketing geek too then you will be gleeful like a pig in mud with the blog Marketing ROI: Whims from Ron Shevlin. For starters, read his post on “The Unintended Consequences of Email Best Pracitces”. I was drawn to it b/c of my BCC dilemna. Its a very smart useful post.

However Ron’s paix de resistance is his suggestions for who should advertise on airport security bins.

You know… I was just thinking the same thing. I changed the design of my site a few days ago. When I clicked on to your site, I noticed how clear and easy it was to read. I love how this one looks but might have to tinker until I find a way to be hip yet effective.

A Bit About Auntie Carrie

Named after my Aunt Carrie who was friends with Billie Holiday, an alleged numbers runner and the unofficial mayor of the Bronx. First parties. Now a blog. Both to celebrate my friends: the most beautiful innovators and hustlers around. Plus to spotlight artists, nightspots, products and events Auntie would slide up to.
